I remember the first time I ever did
some tiling; it was in a BEEFEATER in Tunbridge wells in Kent. I
tiled a wall in the kitchens! Yes I know, it was six by six-plain
white tiles but when I finished the wall, I was so chuffed because
it looked so good, and it looked so clean.
I have tiled many rooms since.
These
are a few:
I tiled a garage for a gentleman who
wanted it to match his Ferrari 340 Spider convertible. So we managed
to get glass tiles from Italy. We designed the garage on the same
idea of a Ferrari garage in Milan just on a smaller scale. The
garage was 31 feet long by 20 feet wide, we used chrome trims for
the borders and the corner trims. The effect was great, as you can
see in the gallery.
I
designed and tiled a bathroom with mosaic tiles and travertine floor
tiles. This room started off with a basic design consisting of a
1200 by 800 shower enclosure, an oval spa bath, A sauna and bathroom
furniture.
In the end the room was transformed by removing the ceiling and
installing lighting into the roof rafters. Installing mood lighting
into the shower enclosure, lighting under the bath. The tiling was
so involved and time consuming as there was over 1,000 tiles needed
cutting.
The end result was stunning, especially as we arranged the lighting
to produce a love heart on the back wall. Just another gentle touch.
A
games room floor I tiled with natural tiles. This floor was 20 feet
wide by 40 feet long. When I finished the floor which in total took
four day from start to finish including sealing, the customer had
his Snooker table fitted, I was told by the manager that the floor
was within 2mm allowing him to fit the table with no problems.
Taking into account that the sub floor was a tamped finish I was
very pleased as was the customer.
I love to create beautiful rooms, I
love working and creating something different, and I have been in
the construction industry for over 20 years now! In that time I have
amassed many talents, I love new idea’s I love new products, I love
including mood lighting and I love natural products. Making people
happy is what I thrive on!
I have decided that what I enjoy the most is tiling, weather it is a
simple splash back or a complete room It makes no difference to me,
you can add so much to a room by adding tiles. It adds depth,
texture and colour to any room.
I am now starting my Forties, where they say life begins so what
better time to progress into a new era.
My Family
I have been married for 16 years to Kim, who is my Rock; she is
the Love of my life. I also have three children; my eldest is James
who is at university studying Law and advance Maths. My Second is
Sam who is now starting six forms studying advance maths, business
studies and ICT my youngest is Kassie, she is at school, now taking
Art, health and social studies and ICT.
I love my children; I have supported my children and will continue
to as I feel they deserve the best. I am so proud of them all as
they have respect for people, they are very polite and most of all
they love my Wife and I so much. Family means everything to me, so
if I can improve people homes, which in turn make people happy and
bring the family together, then I am a happy man.
As a pastime that includes my family and friends, we are members
of a few clubs and have a few hobbies. We love the countryside but
hate walking so what better way and drive the green lanes of the UK
in the adapted Range rover, This runs on LPG so it’s good for the
environment. All of the family goes and even my children drive the
Range rover when we are on private sites.
This is one of the clubs we belong to: www.pantsoffroad.co.uk
